jaisi ab hai isi haalat mein nahin rah sakta

yun bhi nahin ki sham-o-sahar intizar tha

kuchh nahin samjha hun itna muKHtasar paigham tha

nahin ki dil mein hamesha KHushi bahut aai

kisi nai tarha ki rawani mein ja raha tha

kufr se ye jo munawwar meri peshani hai

abhi kisi ke na mere kahe se guzrega

binai se bahar kabhi andar mujhe dekhe

agar kabhi tere aazar se nikalta hun

mere nishan bahut hain jahan bhi hota hun

hamein bhi matlab-o-mani ki justuju hai bahut

kabhi awwal nazar aana kabhi aaKHir hona

tilism-e-hosh-ruba mein patang uDti hai

din par soch sulagti hai ya kabhi raat ke bare mein

ye nahin kahta ki dobara wahi aawaz de
